Learning outcomes of the course unit

The aim of the interactive lectures is a thorough introduction of first-year bachelor's study in production students to the most important concepts and professional terminology of management and marketing.

In this manner, and no other, is how the beginning of the study should be: professional terminology is the entry-way to each specialized area of human activity, whether it be a mason, lawyer, doctor....(we attempt to accept the idea that management is also considered a trade).

Upon adopting the professional terminology, the student gains the fundamental knowledge which facilitates further, secure movement within the profession. Upon gaining basic knowledge, the student may responsibly begin to analyse issues, evaluate situations, use knowledge and skills and apply these in practice.

Mode of study

Interactive lecture, discussion, screenings.
